Hello, Im from Cordoba Argentina and would like to know if this EL Wire kit comes with more bright light, I know is brighter, but I need more power of luminescence, maybe is not the el wire the soft bright, maybe is the circuit using only 2 AA batteries? Thank you. for the asap reply.
@CoolKoon 6 жыл бұрын
If you need more brightness, perhaps you might want to try LED stripes with an opaque coating instead.

@ZDragonMasterZ 9 жыл бұрын
Either I did catch it in the video or it wasn't mentioned, but let's say I wanted to make various shapes from the EL panel. Some might need multiple panels connected together and some might need 1 cut in a smaller shape.. My question is what do we do with the exposed cuts? (that's the most thing holding me back). What I'm trying to make is a cosplay prop (a sword to be frank) and put on the blade the EL panel (or tape) in a way that when I press the hilt I will be able to get the sword to glow (as a display of special skill being used). My blades (yeah there is 2 swords) are almost 50cm long and 8cm wide (approx) and they have various shapes.

@toby1kenobe 10 жыл бұрын
I tried using EL wire around my guitar for a run of Christmas gigs. Unfortunately the inverter created tons of noise that was picked up by the guitar. Are your inverters better? It looked awesome but was unusable, i would like to try again.
@BeckyStern 10 жыл бұрын
It's not a function of "better"-- all inverters make noise. You can dampen it with hot glue or foam tape but never eliminate it completely. Maybe try putting the inverter in your pocket or on the neck of the guitar so it won't resonate so much?
@lisasei-leise287 6 жыл бұрын
The amp in an electric guitar may even pick up the electromagnetic signal from the el-wire. I guess they are basically long antennae emitting a (low powered) signal at the frequency of the inverter.

Is it enough bright that it could be seen from at least 50 meters away? I'm on a motorcycle custom project. Then I want to know if this would be ok to install this type of EL wire in the headlights. The biker must be seen from front with just the EL wire turned on.
